About this episode
Kim Clijsters mastered the art of the comeback during her tennis career. After first retiring at age 23 to become a mother, she returned to the sport two years later and captured three of her four singles Grand Slam titles in her second act. Through it all, she was able to find the balance needed to be both a mother, daughter, friend and elite athlete. With Brett Haber, Kim discusses a wide array of subjects from her career to her life in retirement. She shares her mental secrets to success, her rivalry with Belgian countrywoman Justine Henin, and her deep love for the sport. In reflecting on some of her greatest moments, she remembers the friendships she developed and the constant support of her family. Kim Clijsters is a three-time US Open singles champion, Australian Open singles champion and doubles champion at both Wimbledon and Roland-Garros. She is a former No. 1 in both singles and doubles, and was inducted to the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2017. She currently gives back to the sport as the President of the Hall of Fame, serving as an ambassador and working behind the scenes to grow the Hall's mission to preserve, celebrate and inspire.
